The night the Indie Kids took over the Mercury Music Prize website in 2000.

Satirical and funny news items were posted like Badly Drawn Boy's Hat being given the award when if was found he had written all the songs on the award winning Hour of the Bewilderbeast.

Loved the song Last Song Last Train by Hann on the show tonight. Reminded me of when I was watching Ballboy in Birmingham, was just about 2 leave to catch the last train when they started thier last song, one of my faves so I stopped for the song and had to run to catch it.

Does anyone remember the play Unman, Wittering & Zigo? We read through the script at school in the 80s. It involves a new teacher replacing the previous teacher who died in an accident... or was he murdered? Intimidation by the pupils and suicide.

Amazing gig from Melin Melyn at the Mill on the Hill (Hare & Hounds, Birmingham). The evil landlord tried to stop the gig but thankfully failed. Loved the Orange Juice cover!

Join Melin Melyn in the Save The Mill campaign.

Support your local music venues so they don't get turned into car parks.

Kidderminster's Mill was the Market Tavern where Radiohead, Catatonia and Carter USM played. It's now an apartment building

Here is my video chronicling the amazing Ara Deg festival last year.

I used an 80s toy camera the PXL2000 to film the festival. Enjoy the sight and sounds of Ara Deg.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor were amazing at the HMV Empire, Coventry with sonic soundscapes, at times hypnotic at others, an intense aural explosion. An unforgettable experience! #gy!be #godspeedyou!blackemperor #hmvempirecoventry

AI at the moment is like the Star Trek TNG episode Elementary, Dear Data where the computer mashes up elements of all the Sherlock into a new story but Data solves it easily.

The time to worry is when we get an AI Moriarty. #startrek
